NO BACK STEPPIN FOR YOU.

Ahh, the dreaded back step pass. I was fortunate enough to learn the intricacies of this technique late into my white belt career. Although my time as a white belt was not all that long, my instructors full body weight smashing into me hundreds of times was enough for me to pick up a list of what not to do. If you don't use the backstep counter/pass in your game, you probably have had someone do it to you. Never the less it's a pain in the ass to deal with and often times, if your opponent is quick enough, he can turn the move into a pass. Our buddy Jeremy Arel shows us a very simple yet highly effective knee switch counter to the backstep.
